We can now announce the winner of last month's pet photography competition.

We got our local vet, Dale Barter, (who keeps one of our colleagues' black lab in tip-top running order) to judge the the pet pictures competition. He has selected Alistair Haimes's photograph of jumping dogs Molly And Daisy.

He says that the lively shot shows the animals at their best. The movement is expertly captured, allowing their personality to shine through. The low viewpoint makes the shot more dynamic: we are given a sense that we are being taken into their world, just for a moment. An excellent image.

We also fell slightly in love with Matthew Roberts's ferrets and Seamo66's goldfish bowl was very nicely shot. Thanks to all who took part.
